I read a thread a week ago about Sportrans primary lube and I just confirmed
it today.

Yes.........Harley's discontinuing that fluid. I asked the stealership parts guys
today at Route66 in Tulsa and he showed me the status, it says "Obsolete" in their inventory database.
They still have 6 cases of it in stock........I bought 2 qts.

Just thought I'd pass this info along.

Yep, I was at LowCountry HD in Charleston SC this past weekend and picked up oil, filter and primary lube.

They were out of SportTrans and I got Forumua +. My local dealer still has SportTrans but they say when the stock is gone it's gone....

Yeah...I haven't even seen this "Formula +" stuff - is it the HD replacement? It's not Synthetic, is it?

Actually I think SportTrans was a synthetic blend anyway.
